A Question On PeppermintOS Version Numbering

[wizardfromoz]

G'day, Wiz here.

This question is perhaps best answered by our own Member @pepdebian , who is an integral part of Team Peppermint.

That being said, if anyone else thinks they have the answer, chime in.

If not, watch and learn.

BACKGROUND

I am looking to add another Peppermint to my stable, and first up went to Distrowatch and then went to Peppermint's website.

There, I found reference to a Peppermint Classic I was unaware of.

https://peppermintos.com/2023/12/peppermint-classic/

The article, written last Christmas Eve, says in part

This Christmas marks the one-time release of Peppermint Classic, a modern re-creation of Peppermint 10, atop Debian! Whether it be an itch of nostalgia, or a preference for the old UI, Peppermint Classic has you covered. Great care has been taken to ensure functionality and where not possible sensible alternatives were used. It was a fun exercise reverse-engineering this gift for you.


We hope you enjoy using it as much we enjoyed building it. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, Pepperminters!”

Followed by a link to SourceForge for downloading and checksum.

That's fine.

BUT

The link at SourceForge has a header at the top saying "Peppermint-Menthol".

I downloaded anyway, and at my receiving end, in my Downloads folder, it shows as PeppermintOS-Classic.

Just wondering about the confusing nomenclature.

Sure, the Peppermint forum community earlier this year, got together and produced that Classic spin. I think there is one person that, takes care of it, that is not apart of our maintained library.

For our "official" things we maintain they are always located here:

Download and Install – Peppermint OS

hope that helps
